Hi all.

I am a newbie as well and have some great difficulty buring a .cue file with Nero Express onto a DVD. I get an error message:
"Compilation cannot be written on that medium type.
(Medium in drive: DVD-R. Medium required by compilation: CD-R/RW.)"

But I want to burn it onto a DVD-R, not a CD-R/RW...

What could it be? I will post my log down below. I updated the DVD firmware today, so that shouldn't be it.

Any suggestions are welcomed!

Nero log states:

"Insert empty disc to write to.
(Medium in drive: Unknown. Medium required by compilation: CD-R/RW.)
Compilation cannot be written on that medium type.
(Medium in drive: DVD-R. Medium required by compilation: CD-R/RW.)"

This part of the log indicates that the media is not being recognized correctly either by your drive or by nero.

1) Your version of nero is is not upto date, the current version is 6.6.0.18 and you need to update it. Click on the link, download and install packages 1 and 2.

2) "Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B>Version: A105 - HA 0 TA 2 - 6.6.0.5 "

Your recorder firmware version A105 is also behind one update, it should be version A106. Click on the link and enter the model # in the search field (GSA-4136B), click on A106 to get your file.

3)"=== Scsi-Device-Map ===
DiskPeripheral : SAMSUNG SP1604N nvatabus Port 0 ID 0 DMA: Off
CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B nvatabus Port 0 ID 2 DMA: Off "

DMA is off for these two devices and needs to be enabled, click on the link for a guide.

Set burn speed to 4x and you off.
Good luck.

Oh thank you so much. I will try it out as soon as I can. Weird about the firmware update - I did that today and they only had that version for me... oh well. I will have a look at it.

Thanks again.
